Con Lai Nho Thuong by Tu Quyen
(Paris By Night 87 – Talent Show Final)

English Translation

Listening to the weary night
makes all the worries disappear;
when the night has no colors.
When you arrive you bring the light;
so bright it makes my nightmare dreamy.
My hearts aches when you are far.
My soul is disaster when you lie.

Seeing you with another woman
and here I am alone – hurts badly;
my love – like the past.

[Chorus]
Wo Ai Ni, I love you.
Wo Ai Ni, I need you.

It hits me now that I have no more hope.
Our love has vanished with the glow.

Now you are in love with someone
else like you were in love with me.
Sour or spicy I’m now blind by the fog.

[Chorus]
My love, I love you.
My love, I need you.

It hits me now that I have no more hope.
Our love has vanished with the glow.

Analyzing the song
Basically this song talks about a girl mesmerizing and thinking about her love in the dark weary night – remembering how her loves brought happiness and sun shine to her darkest hours of her life. Her soul and heart is dedicated to this love; even the slightest mistake would break and destroy her life. Now she sees her love with another person kills and hurts her to the heart and soul. Blind by the love she wishes and pray for the love to glow and maybe one day he would come back by her side. However, she now realizes that their love had die and vanish just like the sun after sunset.

Thoughts:
This is one of my favorite songs sung by Tu Quyen because it matches the low sexy tone of her well. When I first heard her sang live I thought she sounded magnificent in real life and for me to once again listen to her sound equally beautiful – maybe even better – it makes me love her as a singer even more. The song ended the Talent Show Finale and I must say I couldn’t be happier because the song was unique, enjoyable, and just fun to listen to. Even though Tu Quyen is not the best singer out there, but I recommend the wannabes singers to listen, watch, and learn the way she present herself – she’s so loveable and sweet on and off screen which is also one of the reason so many fans loves her.

Analyzing Song #1

J000000Sunday07 28, 2007 at 4:11 p04 (Analyzing song, Luong Tung Quang, Tu Quyen)

Thien Duyen Tien Dinh by Tu Quyen and Luong Tung Quang
(Paris By Night 85 – Xuan Trong Ky Niem)
English Translation
At the beginning of the year; all the leaves and flowers bloom.
I want to ask how my love life will be.
Being poor therefore not asking for much,
I only need someone to love me.
If that person fit then please tell me.
Out of the twelve zodiacs you are a goat.
Hold my hand and I will tell you about your fate.
Meeting the person of your dream.
Having lots of kids.
If you want to know; I will lead you.
What is the home town of that person,
is he rich or poor and how old is he?
He is about twenty something.
So familiar you would know him right away.
He’s not far away because that person is me.
The way you read is oh so smart.
Fate has already decided on our love.
Then the wedding day will be very fun.
Not very rich neither am I poor.
Nobody in the world will laugh at us.
Getting marry when the year start and
having a new member when the year end.

Analyzing the song
Thien Duyen Tien Dinh is a sweet ‘love at first sight’ story told by two “lover” – Tu Quyen and Luong Tung Quang – and how fates brought them together when one wants to know about their own fate. Luong Tung Quang is the fortune teller who discovers his lover through trying to read about her fate. The story brings Tu Quyen and Luong Tung Quang together after he sees her; you can say its love at first site. She began to ask him about her life and after many question he tells her that the person of her dream is no one else but him. I thought that it was simply cute when he kneels down to her. She later agree that he is the person of her dream and indeed will marry him; even if he is poor, but all she wants is for someone to fall in love with her inner beauty.

Thoughts
What an excellent song choice for a tet show! I loved the song because of the cute acting from both Tu Quyen and Luong Tung Quang. Tu Quyen has impeccable comedic skills, priceless facial expressions, and a sweet singing voice. The lyrics of Thien Duyen are also very sweet and cute. The song “sounded” good and in fact, the lyrics are quite simple and it is a great thing. It’s an amazing song for tet show because it show how our older generation loves to go see a fortune teller.
